Douluo Dalu: Legend Of Xiao Yan

Xun Er smiled, her face completely flushed in embarrassment, as she carried the silver tray with the now empty chicken soup.

"W-Well then, Xun Er would be going now Yan." Giving a small bow of her head, Xun Er swiftly turned around and quickly rushed out of the house like it was on fire. Even though if it were on fire she wouldn't be affected by it.

The wooden door closed and Xun Er was gone.

Several minutes later, Xiao Yan's eyes blinked opened and his face cheeks were a little red.

'That, was surprisingly good.' He thought.

'Her lips...' If he could move his hands, he would have touched the place where Xun Er left her sweet lips on him.

Xiao Yan let out a long sigh and closed his eyes. Memories of the time he spent Xun Er made his heart beat erratically.

The days he spent with her in the academy, in the city, at his house with grandfather teaching them of alchemy, at times they spent with Tang San and co.

He and Xun Er, are basically inseparable before he knew it.

Xiao Yan's feelings for her is still something he hasn't fully understand. His memories of his past life with Xun Er was clashing with his own. Was his feelings for her that from himself or something from his past life's connection with her?

Xiao Yan sighed deeply, out of confusion and concerned.

'Shit, this is not what I had expected for my reincarnation to go...' He was expecting being all badass and having a good adventure with his friends! Not having his hormones getting in the way and starting some drama.

When he was first aware of his surroundings, he had initially thought of getting stronger and getting to some strange journey to godhood with the shrek seven devils. He hadn't thought about the opposite gender until puberty came, again.

This reincarnated life of his, is gonna be more troublesome than he first thought.

Just as Xiao Yan calmed down his teenage heart and was getting comfortable enough to take a nap, a annoying and familiar voice was heard.

"So, basically, you two are friends with benefits?" The Flame Emperor suddenly appeared by Xiao Yan's side, his dark cloak still worn on by him, he gave his past self a teasing smile and unceremoniously sat down at the chair where Xun Er had once where.

"Oh shut it me." Xiao Yan angrily snapped at his past self.

"Ma ma, don't be so pissy. I'm here to accompany your lone self so you won't be lonely, so don't be like that." The Flame Emperor casually replied as he continued smiling teasingly.

Xiao Yan's eyebrows twitched and let out a long irritated sigh. He turned his head around and asked.

"So? What is it?"

Flame Emperor's eyebrow rose with his expression turned to that of 'I expected this'.

"Why am I not surprised that you're not surprised at me being out here?"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and replied.

"Read countless of novels and fanfictions, and trust me, you'll expect everything a cultivation world throws at you."

Flame Emperor scoffed and retorted.

"Oh really? Did you expect that you have a past self from those? Or that this isn't your first, but third reincarnation? Huh?"

"..."

Flame Emperor snorted.

"Thought so."

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said.

"Alright, alright. What do you want?"

Suddenly, Flame Emperor's face turned sheepish and his eyes looked away from his, causing Xiao Yan's eyes to narrow.

Finally, Flame Emperor said.

"I came here cause, well, I might have forgotten to tell you something..."

Eyebrow raised, Xiao Yan prompted Flame Emperor with a nod to say 'continue'.

".... It might be better if he tells you."

"He?"

"That would be me, my descendant." Suddenly, another voice was heard in the room. Xiao Yan's eyes swiftly turned towards the foot of his bed, his eyes widened in shock to find out someone else in the room.

The young man's indifferent and aloof face, might have thrown Xiao Yan off, but there was no mistake, that face...

"Why the f.u.c.k is Natsu Dragneel doing here? Heck, why is he even in this world?!" Xiao Yan quickly turned to his other self, questions immediately fired.

The Natsu look-alike twitched his eyes when he saw Flame Emperor looking away and holding his mouth back from laughing.

He let out a long sigh and walked towards Xiao Yan.

"No, I am not this Natsu Dragneel that you speak off. Although I am confused why you recognize this form that I took, courtesy of a certain Emperor of Flames, but let me assure you, I am not what you think I am." As he said that, he took standing near where Flame Emperor is, not before sending a quick at the latter, who responded with a chuckle.

Xiao Yan who was witnessing this scene, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

"Then, who are you?"

The man turned towards Xiao Yan, revealing a toothy big grin, he replied.

"I am one of the nine dragon sons, of the one known as the divine beast king of all spirit beasts, the Dragon God. I am the one who governs fire and lightning, the one who brings destruction and death. I am–" But before the self proclaimed dragon son, the Flame Emperor used this moment to intervene.

"Destroyer of worlds, Fire Dragon King Igneel." Then he burst out laughing as 'Igneel' turned towards him with an angry glare.

"Really?! I mean, you got the Fire Dragon King right, but I am not Igneel nor a destroyer of worlds, despite the latter sounding pretty awesome." He said with a low sounding voice at the end before shaking his head.

"And really, why do you insist on calling me Igneel, Flame Emperor? Do I really look and act someone named like that? Is he also a Fire Dragon King in your world?"

"Eh... More or less. Anyways, let's get to explaining why we're here now or the kid's going to bore himself to sleep." Flame Emperor indicated with his head towards Xiao Yan who was staring at them with a deadpanned expression.

True, after being shock for a moment at the identity of the young man, eh, dragon. Xiao Yan was now getting bored.

Flame Emperor rolled his, being the person on bed was him, knew what he was thinking.

"Yeah, yeah, we'll talk about why we're here. Igneel, if you please?"

The Fire Dragon King sighed, resigned at being called that, and said.

"As he said, I'm the Fire Dragon King, one of the nine sons of the Dragon God. The reason why I'm here is to explain to you about that power that you have subconsciously awakened, due to your emotional state and the help of Flame Emperor." As Igneel finished, Xiao Yan's eyes twinkle and his eyes perked up to listen carefully.(A/N: I'm officially calling him Igneel.)

"I'm listening..."

"Well, to properly understand it all, let's start at the beginning." Igneel closed his eyes and suddenly, his body suddenly started to spout crimson-dark flames. Surrounding him and slowly spread around him, though strangely, the flames didn't affect the wood around them, nor did it gave any sort of heat that Xiao Yan could feel.

"First, it all started millions of years ago when an ancestor of yours helped me, when I suffered great injuries in a war between gods." Suddenly, images started to appear in the flames. Images of a wounded great dragon and a human man, who instead of running away or killing the big lizard, he took care of it.

'So it's a projection?' Xiao Yan thought before attention went back to the fire projection.

"He took care of me for months, despite me being acting rude and angry at him all the time, he took care of me without a care for my attitude."

"Later on, we became friends. Even until now I'm still in disbelief that a human became friends with me. I, who was known for his destructive nature and uncaring attitude to anything that wasn't related to his kin, was friends with a human."

"So, after I had recovered from my injuries and long thinking of the matter, I had given that ancestor of yours my blessings and bloodline as my gratitude. The procedure might have traumatized him for all his life but hey, he got some pretty awesome powers, am I right?" Igneel shrugged at the looks he was getting before continuing.

"I had decided to give that human my bloodline not only for the sake of my gratitude for your ancestor but also my first faith in humanity. And he didn't disappoint me."

"With the power he received from me, he rallied his family to protect the normal spirit beasts that was being abused and slaughtered by other humans who was instructed by their... gods." Igneel spat at the word gods. His anger against those divine beings that preyed on the weak was something he didn't like. Not. At. All.

"Not only that, but your ancestor's use of my bloodline was so great that he had actually unlocked a portion of divinity that was sealed in my blood." That caused Xiao Yan's eyes to widened in shock.

"He unlocked a portion of your divinity?!"

"Yeah. I knew when I gave your ancestor my bloodline and blessings, he would also get some of my powers, eventually gaining a portion of my, a divine beast, strength, and even my divinity, my immortal Qi, giving his body to able to use such energy. Something that no normal mortals could have handled. At the time I thought that he wouldn't be able to unlocked what was hidden inside the bloodline that I gave him, but just to be safe, I put up 10 chain seals inside of that bloodline and hope that he wouldn't be able to unlock them. But, imagine my shock and disbelief that not only did he unlocked one chain, he unlocked eight of them."

"With those eight chains shattered, he had gotten and earned his true dragon bloodline, the powers of and right to be called a True Dragon. If he had unlocked the remaining two seals, he would have all of my powers and basically become me."

"But, obviously, because I didn't put my god tablet, or otherwise known as my divine inheritance in his dragon bloodline, he wouldn't be able to truly become me. Just think of him as a clone with his own will that only has about eighty to eighty five percent of the original's entire powers."

"Though, as I have seen and observed of his actions, I had felt that I wouldn't really care if he unlocked all the seals and become a mini-me. He would have become a great ally with the battle that I and my kin had wage for many years."

"Sadly, his mindset was still that of a mortal. He didn't want to live forever and see his family die while he himself is left. Nor did he want to steal all of my powers and take on my position, as that would mean he would fight against me, as at the time I was still alive so I didn't want to give away my God Position." Xiao Yan was completely immersed with the story and asked.

"So, what happened to him?"

Igneel showed sorrow filled expression and replied.

"He went to find me. At that time I was surrounded by God Officers, Third Class Gods/Goddesses, Second Class Gods/Goddesses, and First Class Gods/Goddesses. I was outnumbered and overwhelmed. My brother, the water dragon king, had already fallen. I was just a breath away from death, when I heard him. Your ancestor, Xiao Xuan, let out a war cry as he charged towards the crowd of Gods and Goddesses." Xiao Yan, and Flame Emperor as well, were silent. The tone in Igneel's voice was clear of what happens next.

"That death seeking, foolish, but brave, man had given his all to try and save me. To the point of using all of his blood essence and life energy to temporarily shatter all of the chains, which had gave him my strength and power as a First Class God. He was a very capable, and most worthy, person to temporarily inherit my position. He had killed all the Good Officers, fatally wounding 2nd Class Gods and tank on the attacks of First Class Gods." The projection showed how Xiao Yan's ancestor fought, the power of both fire and lightning strike all the gods, killing them, and fell. Xiao Yan's eyes twinkled in disbelief, shock, respect and awe. Flame Emperor, with the same various of expressions flashing in Xiao Yan's eyes, as well as some strange nostalgia, tilting his head down for a small bow of respect.

After all, this person, that Igneel was talking about? Was someone he had respected greatly in the past and present.

A sad smile appeared on Igneel's face.

"It's ironic, you know? He came to find me, to try and find a way die, and he did die. Not by my hands but by others that wanted to kill me." Igneel clenched his fists and looked away.

"It was at that moment, that I finally felt true respect and administration towards someone, other than my brothers and father, and he wasn't a dragon. But a mere mortal human that defied all logic set by the races of our time. He was the first legend among humankind in that era."

"Just as when the remaining gods wanted to continue to kill me and absorbed my energy, because of the actions of your ancestor, I decided something that would make any of my fellow divine beasts to look at me in shock and disdain."

"What did you do?"

A slight evil smirk appeared on Igneel's face.

"What was the idiom you humans used? Ah yes, as a final "F.u.c.k You" to those gods and goddesses, I used every bit of my divine consciousness to tie my entire bloodline god core to the Xiao Family bloodline. That's also the reason why I'm calling you my descendant." Xiao Yan's jaws dropped at the revelation. Not at the latter, he didn't really care about that.

But the fact that the Flame Dragon King basically gave up his entire powers, his entire bloodline, to the Xiao Family, HIS FAMILY, just so he could pissed off those gods.

Suddenly Xiao Yan became worried.

"Then, wouldn't those gods would've had hunted my family down?"

Igneel snorted and replied.

"Who do you think your talking to? I'm an old and wise dragon, of course I did it secretly from those idiots."

Xiao Yan sighed out of relief.

"So, does my family has the same powers as me?"

"No. When I gave my bloodline to your family, I did it with the same restrictions as when I gave your ancestor."

"Up until now, there has been no one who was able to unlock one chain, well, that was until you my descendant."

Xiao Yan and Flame Emperor's eyes turned deadpanned and thought.

'F.u.c.k.i.n.g plot armor.'
